Mr. Thomas is a great professor. This is an easy class as long as you show up and participate. He DOES make history fun! I took him for 1301 as well. Wish he was teaching other subjects. He has a great sense of humor so don't take anything personal.

A really cool guy who knows his stuff. Professor Thomas connects to you on a more personable level. Easy A !
GREAT TEACHER! I WOULD TAKE HIM AGAIN!
Awesome teacher! Took his flex course and it was super easy! He reviews for test and describes things clear and has fun with it. He is a huge potty mouth so I could see some people getting offended but I thought it made the class entertaining!
AWESOME!!!!! Best teacher ever!!! Loves history and made it so interesting and funny. Does have a way with words but overall he is GREAT!!! Made me love history. Taking him in the summer. If you don't pass, you're an idiot!!! Study guides are what is exactly on his tests. Highly highly recommend.
Mr.Thomas is a COOL instructor,VERY laid back personality,&has a unique way of lecturing to his class, it's somewhat conversational. Don't take his sense of humor personally. Took him for Flex-Summer I; he gave 3 quizzes& 3 tests including the Final.He'll drop your lowest quiz/test score too! Follow his study guide exactly& you'll pass the tests.
BEST PROFESSOR AT ST PHILLIPS! Would recommend to anyone who is laid back and has a sense of humor. The material is relatable and very funny! Seriously the best class to enroll in, you won't be disappointed!

The easiest professor at St Philips. Makes the class enjoyable to come to everyday. Will bend over backwards to help you.
Excellent professor. Very laid back and makes history enjoyable to learn. He is extremely helpful and his test are based on his lectures. I wish he taught other classes so I could take him over again. Great fella and fun to be around.
Awesome Professor!!!! I learned so much from him this semester about our country. He made the teachings very understandable and crystal clear. I would definitely choose him all over again as a professor.
Mr. Thomas is the best History Professor there ever was. I highly recommend this Professor for both US History 1 and World History 2. Don't cheat your self out of a good grade and the real truth about History.
Enjoyed style of teaching actually made history interesting
Mr. Thomas is the best professor I've ever had. His lectures are easy to follow and really interesting. He has a very relaxed personality. You will definitely learn in his class without the stress you get from uptight professors. Best professor ever!
Mr. Thomas is the best professor I've had. His lectures are easy to follow and very interesting. He has a very laid back personality. If you love to learn but don't want to deal with an uptight professor take Mr. Thomas for History.
Great teacher!!! Need more like Mr. Thomas
This cat is the coolest professor at St Philips. His style of teaching is relaxed and enjoyable. Lectures are to much fun and you cant lose interest. If you have to take history, take this cat. He reviews all test with you prior
Mr. T is a great professor. I was not looking forward to taking History. The professor has an interesting teaching technique and keeps students engaged. If you pay attention in class you should be successful. I highly recommend to take his class. Looking forward to taking HIST 1302 with Professor Thomas.
Have always been interested in history but Mr. Thomas has given history life. His passion for history is apparent in his lectures and discussions. The reviews for the test are so helpful and the class is almost impossible to fail. And above all he has an awesome beard that should have its own chili pepper!!!!
Instructor was very helpful, made the class fun, and kept me interested.
Hes such a great teacher who is always willing to work with you if you communicate
he is the funniest teacher i ever had. the way he teaches is way different form other professors. he makes history class for interesting.

Mr Thomas has a very concise history method of the American people, i really enjoyed his attitude and teaching methods.

Mr. T is an Amazing teacher! He is extremley helpful and creative when it comes to learning techniques. His teaching technique is Colorful causing the class to be fun and rememberable. He helps create an atmosphere that is histerical while learning about the past, which is not a normal thing most professors do thus making his class my favorite.
Mr.T class is very fun! If you are looking for a history teacher he is the best one I would suggest.... YOU will learn and have fun VERY EASY CLASS along as you ATTEND...
Mr.T Class is VERY EASY and FUN!!! He makes his lessons fun and interesting that you will not forget want he has gone over for when it comes to taking a test. I recommend his to All students that need to Take HIST 1301 and Hist 1302.. EASY CLASS
Mr. T is one of the most intelligent and fun instructors I've had the pleasure of learning from. He knows his stuff and keeps the class intrigued, you would be missing out not taking one of his classes.
Easy A
He is an awesome teacher! Very interesting ! And funny! I would definitely recommend him to anyone! You would literally have to do nothing and be absent a lot to fail his class!
mr. Thomas as able to bring life to the pages of history. goo story teller
Mr. T has a witty sense of humor, that engages the class. He is awesome, and the greatest history teacher ever. I wish I would have taken his class for Hist 1301, I highly recommend taking this course with this cool guy.
Mr. T is a real funny guy. I'm not a fan of History and Mr. T made it to where i actually wanted to come to class to learn instead of having to go because its required. He is really funny, integrates new things with old to help remember, his test are easy and to the point, gives easy grades, and makes note taking very simple. Taking him for 1302!
Mr. Thomas is the Seth Rogen of teachers. He may be older than you physically, but his mind is still into video games, movies, and making jokes. I've never met a teacher who I could level with. He is the first teacher I would probably invite to my birthday parties and so forth. Words alone cannot describe how amazing he is!
i am a student who can sit in the back of the room and just listen not have to worry about studying or stressing and this class made it easy to do that. it is lectured based and very easy to understand and remember everything. i passed and never took any notes
Mr. Thomas is a one of a kind teacher and he diffently knows his history. His class was really entertaining and I would recommend taking HIST 1301 with him if you need it as a prerequisite
Mr. T is not your normal teacher his lectures aren't your normal lectures. He entertains and teaches you at the same time making history less mundane compared to other history classes I have taken. He is also very funny
Perfect A in history
He's such a great professor. He's very attentive and cares for his students. He's not the typical college professor he knows how to captivate any student I always looked forward to coming to his class you must take him! You won't regret it. I'm an international student and he made history fun
You need to take Mr.T for history, this is my second time taking history and he is by far the best history professor i have had so far and that's that i hate history. Listen to me take him.
Overall,this class was more of a discussion on current events. It did not focus on history. If your looking for a good time this class is for you, if your like me and value your GPA I would not recommend this class.
Great professor with great knowledge of the subject matter and presented it in a way that's unique from others instead of just teaching the textbook.
Amazing
Has an interesting way of teaching. Doesn't require you to use a text book. Easy class.
I heard some of the worst things in this class. It was kind of disturbing, I personally believe people like this class so much, because of the laid back environment. If thats the case they shouldn't be in college. Waste of time.
Overall class was easy, lectures were ok,I wouldn't take this class again. Not a good learning environment.
I took history 1 with him and by far the EASIEST class, this was one class that kept balance in my harder classes the quizzes are easy, midterm easy, final easy, just put in effort and there's not that many questions which is wonderful i enjoyed this class very much and the teacher
Best professor ever! You work for your grade but he wants you to do well and cares!
This class is just what you need to boost your GPA. Very helpful
Mr T was by far the best teacher I've had since coming to St Phillips. I took the Flex 1 and 2 with him, His test are online on canvas but were very easy. Come to class and learn about history but be prepared to laugh. He has his own style of teaching that doesn't require you to read very much in his class. Easy A while learning U.S. and Texas Hist
Started off the year having lots of technical issues, but Prof T was very understanding and helped me through it. The class is very organized, and although the quizzes aren't too hard, not studying or trying will result in bad grades. Overall, realllllllly great class.
He's an amazing teacher. This is my second time taking him. Not a normal learning environment, in the sense that he's very laid back, funny and chill. You don't need a book. You show up to class and listen to his entertaining, yet informative lecture and take 2 exams that are sometimes take home and super simple. I did not have any assignments.
I took 3 classes so far and i've gotten all A's ... I did online because i have a bad schedule and when i have free time i can work on assignments. If you do not take Professor Thomas, you making college hard on yourself. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. I got a C the first time i took 1301. I got it up to an A. Again.. take this professor!!!!!
All the answers to the quizes he has for the assignments can be found usually with a quick google search for the question and quizlet afterwards. So this class is an easy A. Didn't even read the book. Just took it online. REALLY RECOMMENDED for a higher GPA. Just do well on the test using quizlet and do them on time and you should be fine.
BEST HISTORY PROFESSOR EVER!!!! choose him over any other professor!!
By far a the best History class I've had. He passes on information like you are right in that time period. Now he can get a little excitable at time and his candor can make some uneasy. He knows his stuff and make learning History fun!
ARE YOU in need to take history and wondering who you should take it with? well look no further! MT. T IS AMAZING AND AMUSING!!!! WORTH EVERY PENNY!
Mr. T Is The Best Professor iHave Taken, He Understands You And Connects With You. CHOOSE THIS CLASS! I REPEAT! CHOOSE THIS CLASS! He Makes Class Fun In Every Possible Way! It's Worth The Time and The Money!
To be honest, i would definitely recommend taking Mr.T class. He makes it exciting and keeps you wanting to know more. You wont regret it. Oh, dont be late to class.
Def recommend Mr. T! He makes history not so boring! Take good notes & you'll be fine. Don't be late for roll call.
I would definitely take Mr. T's class again, great professor! Be sure to take good notes and you'll be fine; just don't be late to class!
If you're not a history major and want to get the credit out of the way, but don't really care about learning, take Mr. T's class. There's a weekly 10 question, multiple choice quiz that you have 3 attempts on, and it tells you what you got wrong. Answers are all online word for word. I didn't even buy the book. No papers/projects/discussions.
Like most (all?) of St. Philip's college you have to show up. The major difference is here you want to show up. Very interactive, very fun.
Took this 5 week course with professor Thomas & he is one of the best ever! Out of all the classes i have ever been to this is the best one! Very funny and sweet! His lectures are the best. Don't miss class though. Take good notes and listen. He doesn't give essays or anything. Just make sure you understand the lecturers! We had a little pot luck!!
Mr. T is the best teacher to take for all HIST classes. I took his US History I&II during the summer and had a blast in both class. His lectures are great. He makes lectures fun by turning them into a story that was really interesting to listen too. He loves his job and he shows it by the way he teaches. He's super laid back and funny
Taking him this semester and he's very funny but knows his stuff. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! For sure taking him for next semester.
US History 1 with Mr. Thomas was awesome!! I took it the Flex II semester so it was a bit accelerated and you're really only allowed to miss 1 class. After that he will start docking points I believe. Buying the book is not mandatory. It's all lecture but really fun and interesting. Just take good notes. NO HOMEWORK!
This professor is by far the best one I have had at St. Philips. He made it enjoyable to come to class. Take lots of notes and the book is not required. You can get an A based on your notes. His teaching style is set up to be very personable so I would attend every class and take notes. Those notes will really help you on your tests.
I'm really bad at History because other teachers made it so boring and hard to understand. But, Mr. Thomas is REALLY good. He is little lecture heavy BUT he does a good job telling the class what is important and what you can just listen to and making it really interesting .
By far my favorite professor yet! The whole semester we just took notes. Out final was made up of questions that he let us make up as a class. He has a great sense of humor and brought sweet treats for the class often.
Beyond amazing to learn from. He is incredibly passionate about what he teaches and is always fun in class.
Easily one of the best professor's ive ever taken. His lectures are interesting and funny, he has a great sense of humor. Very easy class, just show up for notes. The class also gets to choose whats on the tests and final which are also easy to pass.
he is the best!! Amazing and fun class. makes history fun! He is my favorite teacher!
I took professor Thomas for my History 1301 class. His lectures are informative and fun. He makes a boring subject interesting and silly. I really enjoyed his class and his crazy attitude. I have just registered for a second history class with him, 1302. I look forward to having professor Thomas again this summer. Take him, he's AWESOME!!
Take notes, you'll be fine. He actually makes History fun. The class gets to choose what material is covered in the tests. He is fair and funny. I wish I would have taken him for 1301 as well.
Professor Thomas was Awesome!! Highly recommend taking his online course!!
Very awesome professor, Great classroom atmosphere, easy to talk to great lectures and class discussions. Easy class if you take notes and listen, easy grading. Its an easy class if you show up to the lectures
Professor Thomas is awesome! He's really easy! Show up to class take notes and study for midterm and final and you will Pass!
Very awesome professor, Great classroom atmosphere, easy to talk to great lectures and class discussions. Easy class if you take notes and listen, easy grading. Its an easy class if you show up to the lectures. I urge you take his class you will not be disappointed and you will have fun learning
Mr. Thomas is extremelyyyyyy easy. So easy that you can pretty much find all of the answers on google. That's how easy. Easy A+.
Great and funny teacher, not much to grade so attendance is mandatory.
Mr. T is an amazing history teacher. For sure makes the subject interesting. Learn something new every class. Made history fun to learn!
Easy A. Makes the content so you can relate and learn it much easier. Not many assignments, just attendance grade. We had one take home test and a final which we made up in class. HE IS HILARIOUS.
Mr. Thomas is such a hilarious person! Easy teachings, everything you need to know he writes down on the board & take notes! We had a take home review test at the end of the semester and a final which was almost everything on the review test . Need notes to pass. I recommend you take him.. you wont regret it!
Had a blast. I used to hate history. Attendance is key. I hate school, but I made every effort to be in this class. Never missed a day! Mr.T is the best teacher Ive ever had. If youre looking for easy credits take all of his classes. Im not good at note taking, but he made it easy with keywords on the dry erase board.
Mr. Thomas is a funny person! Need to take notes because you will need them. Write down what he writes down on the board. He makes history very interesting never really payed attention to history till this class! There's no homework just one take home mid exam and one final you shouldn't fail! I really recommend Mr. Thomas you won't regret it!
Literally one of the best Professors I've ever had. The class and his lectures were very fun, entertaining, and educational. Didn't give homework but did have a midterm and final test, that's it. Goes to show you don't need to do a million and one assignments to learn. I'd highly recommend taking him for US History I and II.
I took this professor for two history classes and I have to say that this is one of the best professors ever! I took his classes during the summer (1301&1302). He is so funny and really caring! He is willing to help you out if needed and is very understanding. You'll love him its really hard not too!
Mr. T is an amazing professor!! Hes super funny and a good person! His class is based on notes, whatever is important he will write down on the board and talk about it which is your time to put it in your notes. Took him for both 1301 & 1302!
He's awesome! There's a 10 question quiz every week with 3 attempts, they're super easy! I've taken a few of his classes and he's the best and makes history super easy. This is the perfect class for somebody who's going full time and needs an easy A class. The material is really interesting so that makes it easier too!
Only 1 midterm, 1 final exam, 1 quiz. He is insanely funny and is very caring about his students. History has been the toughest subject for me since the start of k-12, but Mr. T made everything so easy to remember by his own teaching method. You don't need the book, just take class notes because the midterm and final exam will be based on that!
Professor Thomas was awesome! I would def take again! I took this course online and it was super easy. It boosted my grade and I also learned a lot! Everything is on quizlet!
Easiest professor you will ever take. I took this as a Maymester class online and it was so easy. Literally you don't need the book. All answers you can find online and test are cake. You just gotta make time to do the work, which you would've done either way. He seems pretty cool on top of that. If you don't wanna stress take him!
Best professor I have ever had took him for history 1 and 2, and I can say what a gem he is! More professors need to teach the way he does! Just take notes during class and youll be ready for tests etc. andhe is beyond hilarious
You can tell Mr. Thomas loves history even though I took the online course. I took this class during the flex semester. It was easy and at your own pace. Book is not mandatory and quiz answers are on quizlet.
This dude is a MVP for hist 1301 class takers especially Online! had him for Flex 1 fall 2019, this dude rocks! easy quizes and non of that "group project" or "discussion" business which we all know is a waste of time. His assignments get straight to the point! would love to take him for Hist1302 for sure! SIGN UP FOR HIM.
An amazing instructor who's lectures actually make you interested in the material. The entertaining manor that he lectures, and how he involves the class makes the information stick. Simply pay attention, and take notes.
If you are looking for a HIST 1301 class to take and you have the opportunity to take Mr. Thomas I recommend you do so. You will NOT regret it! He has been by far the best professor I have had. The class is simple, go take very good notes remember the funny things and pass. If I could give 10 stars for his class I would. TAKE HIS CLASS !
I went to another college about years ago and my history teachers I have had were no where near as fun and understandable as he was. History use to be my favorite class all in High school then college I got stuck on and couldn't really focus anymore. Finally I came back to a new college and got him as my professor and I love history and learning .
i took him for the online course, super easy, you do have to sometimes think outside the box, but his content is very understanding and to the point. and from judging his emails he would send us, he seems like a funny, caring individual. Would definately take his course again.
I took Mr. T for History 2322, for a summer class. He opens all work and lets you work at your pace, easy quizzes based off his powerpoint slides (rarely used my text book) I def recommend him.
Great teacher an gives amazing speeches. Unfortunately because of covid I was not able to sit in his class but I do highly recommend. 10 out of 10
Took him for multiple classes and this man is amazing and very helpful. YOU HAVE TO TAKE HIM
Mr T took what I thought was going to be a boring subject and made It interesting and relatable for me. Giving me the confidence I needed to take on school at an older age of over 40. I look forward to continuing my education and meeting more instructors like him. He is what makes St Phillips and its community top notch and welcoming school
He's awesome. You have to take him if you get the opportunity. It's an experience. He's so funny. I loved the lectures and I don't even like history. But Mr. T made me like it. Just take him. You'll see what we are all talking about. It's no hype.
Great class to take. Lots of reading.
Great class, I took online so I missed the lectures that people rave about. Simple class, do the 3 assignments each week, and then do the midterm and final. very clear-cut grading and expectations. great class.
Only had two assignments per week, pretty easy stuff.
My second time taking one of his classes and theres nothing bad I could even say. I enjoyed taking his virtual and online classes. Work is pretty minimal and tests are fairly easy. Definitely recommend!
He is AMAZING. Passionate about his teachings. He keeps it easy and Relates the information to new sayings.
Lots of work required, the grading system is very unclear and the midterm exam was next to impossible. The textbook chapter are long and cover anywhere from 5 years to 40 years. the quizzes take a long time to answer and there's two due each week. There's no study guide for the midterm or final exam so any question could appear on the test.
One of the easiest classes I have ever taken. All the work is done in InQuizitive. Mid-term exam had 25 questions and final exam had 50 questions. If you failed your final he allowed you to write an essay about a specific topic. He kept the higher grade. It is impossible to fail this class.
If you have the opportunity to take one of Professor Thomas class..do it. You will not regret it. The course itself has a lot of heavy reading but Professor Thomas uses this software called InQuizitive which makes learning the material super fun and easy to retain.
